Aloha! Thanks for dropping by the "Hawaii In Vermont" Blog where you'll find the ONLY Podcast that reviews the CBS Reboot of 'Hawaii Five-0'! Take a look around & grab theRSS feedto stay updated. Mahalo!

Here is the latest ‘Hawaii Five-0’ Podcast review of Season 2, Episode 2, airing September 26th and entitled, “Ua Lawe Wale” or ‘Taken’. Jools of The Five-0’s talked with me this week about our reaction to the much “calmer” follow-up to the premiere episode of the 2nd season of the show.

We discuss our impressions of the new girl on the team, Lori Weston, fashion changes we’ve noticed, the show traveling to Lanai, whether Kono is being left in the dust by the team, the McDanno “horseguement”and of course our “Theme” discussion of how the title of the episode ties into all the characters and the crime story of the week.

Please join me next week for our discussion of the 3rd episode, entitled, “Kame’e”. Thank you for listening and commenting.

I just recorded an ‘initial reaction’ podcast review of Episode 2.02 “Ua Lawe Wale” from Monday, September 26th with Jools of “The Five-0’s” which I hope to be finished editing very soon and posted here.

Please feel free to post any comments about that episode or past podcasts here below if you like, and I may read them on my next podcast!

So it finally happened! The Season 2 Premiere came and boy was it good!

Well that’s what Jools of The Five 0’s and I think of it and what we talk about in my first “Initial Reaction” #H50 Podcast Review of Season 2, Episode #1 entitled “Ha’i’ole.

I usually wait to let the episodes percolate in my brain a bit and process things and then I look for quotes and locations and trivia but …..I just couldn’t wait!!!! How could I ?

I along with most of you out there, have been waiting 3 months and even longer than some who were lucky enough to see the episode over 10 days ago in Hawaii at Sunset On The Beach in Waikiki. I had plenty of chances for those spoilers and tidbits and behind-the-scene videos to take a peak… but I did avoid almost all of them! Just a few pictures here and there, but I really wanted to enjoy the first episode!

So as quick as Kamekona starting a new business, I sat down this afternoon (evening for her) with Jools and we just chatted and laughed about this fantastic episode and recounted our first reactions. Jools had some great talking points. They are:

– Hesse changing sides

– How badass McG was

– Max aka Kermit! That character is really funny

– Danno’s ex baby.

– The new Gov

– How Chin Ho always had McG’s back

– Lt. Cmdr. Joe White – loved how mellow he is

– What Makoto told McG

– If McG Senior is involved or was pretending to be mates with Wo Fat

– How Wo Fat will resort to anything to protect himself. Very happy to see more of him finally!!!

– And the freaking ending!!!!!

It’s not too, too long (only 45 minutes this time, Yay!) and there’s no locations or trivia about stars, (well not too much) and just us gals rambling on about it. I hope you enjoy it and make sure to check out Jool’s newly launched website at http://www.thefive0s.org/ You might also like to take part in the Tweet up about the episodes which take place o Wednesday’s at 8pm EST which you can do at http://thefive0s.posterous.com/pages/h50tinis .

Don’t worry, I do plan on eventually posting locations and trivia for the episode soon, so keep an eye on this website and my Facebook page. I also hope to get a discussion later this week from my Hawaiian sis, @WendieJoy Burbridge of the Five-0 Redux blog to weigh in and discuss her favorite moments, so make sure to tune in again soon.

One of our online Hawaii Five-0 Blogger friends, who we just featured in our 3rd Hawaii In Vermont Summer Interview series, The Five-0’s, just made it to prime time! Hawaii News Now featured the Facebook page of the Five-0s and their super fun special feature game of screencaps with captions to fill in. Here’s a video of that. It’s funny and cool! Congratulations to our Friend, Jools and the rest of the Five 0’s, @LisaLisa98 and @Terrysagirl!

Continuing on with our Summer Interview Series with Hawaii Five-0 Bloggers and big contributors to the Fan Community, our latest episode puts the spotlight on the founder of The Five-0’s, ‘Jools‘ and her Hawaiian cohort, @LisaLisa98 of Lisa Woo Designs. We find out the origin of The Five-0 blogs that have “All the Inside Info to Your Favorite Show” and those who are behind it!

This conversation was very cool because we were able to Skype in 3 different locations this time. Jools hails from the UK in London, I was at a soccer tournament in Pennsylvania, and Lisa was Skyping with us from Hawaii! That’s a span of 11 hours between all of us, so it took some time juggling! In the end I think you will like where our conversation takes us!

Jools tells us how The Five-0’s fan community and sites work, about international followers and very interesting conversations about ‘Hawaii Five-0″ on the net.

Some have taken place with the key people connected to the show , along with the fans. She also tells us what you’ll find if you follow her blogs as well as @TheFive0s on twitter! Jools also has a very ethical policy about cast privacy and what kind of pictures you “won’t” find on the blogs!

Friend of our show, @WendieJoy is also friends with The Five-0’s, and knows Lisa Woo, on Oahu (it’s a small island, after all!) Wendie featured her story of being an extra on the set of Hawaii Five-0 for an episode of Season 1, wearing her own costume design in the Five-0 Redux blog, recently!

Lisa tells us in our podcast too, the whole story of how that came about and her short but meaningful meeting with star, Alex 0’Loughlin! She gifted him with really cool Twitter booklets for the 4 leads that were a labor of love from TheFive-0’s of fans tweets and mentions! You can see examples of those at The Five 0’s Tumblr blog.
